Video Game Fashion: Five Nights at Freddy’s

Five Nights at Freddy’s is a game series that not only gets better, but also scarier, with each new addition. It’s quickly become a cult classic within the indie gaming community. 

Interestingly, Five Nights at Freddy’s is not anything special graphically. Nor is it an objectively fantastic game. It’s just a simple take on the horror genre, but it’s done in a way that makes its simplicity uncomfortable.

You play as a man working as a nighttime security guard at the restaurant, Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza. During your first shift, you receive a voicemail from a previous worker. He explains that the animatronics (Freddy Fazbear, Chica the Chicken, Bonnie the Bunny and Foxy the Pirate Fox) sometimes wander around the restaurant after it has closed. He also adds that that if they catch you they will assume you are an endoskeleton without its costume and will forcefully stuff you into a spare mechanical Freddy Fazbear costume, which will ultimately kill you. Fun, right?

Now, let’s take a look at three outfits inspired by this indie classic for this week’s Video Game Fashion:

Freddy is the main animatronic in charge as the lead singer of Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza Band. While he appears in many different variations in the later games, he’s typically represented as a mechanical bear. Similarly to the other animatronics, he’s left to wander around the restaurant after it’s closed.

I picked out a pair of dark brown pants, a white striped blouse and black oxfords to give off a powerful vibe, as they’re all staples for business casual attire. (I mean, Freddy is the one in charge after all.) 

As homage to Freddy’s top hat and bow-tie, I decided to add a black bow-tie choker and a black fedora. These pieces not only maintain a dark color scheme that reflects the horror genre of the game, but they add to that theme of darkness with their gothic, witchy vibe.
